Teeth Whitening
Our teeth whitening services in Melbourne use advanced gel-based and laser treatments to brighten smiles in one session. Custom take-home kits are available for gradual results. We assess suitability and tailor solutions to address discolouration from age, diet, or lifestyle factors while ensuring patient comfort.
Clear Correct Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners straighten teeth discreetly using custom 3D-printed trays. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, progressing through a treatment plan designed for crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues. Our dentists monitor progress every 6-8 weeks to ensure optimal alignment and comfort.
Emergency Dental Care
We provide 24-hour emergency dental services for severe toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, and infections. Treatments include pain relief, root canals, and repairs to crowns or dentures. Patients receive immediate attention with priority given to urgent cases during operating hours.
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry uses sedation to treat anxious patients or those requiring complex procedures. Options include nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, or IV sedation for deep relaxation. This service is ideal for lengthy treatments, phobias, or medical conditions requiring a stress-free environment.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth after root canals, fractures, or severe decay. We use porcelain or ceramic materials to match natural teeth, ensuring durability and aesthetics. The process involves two visits for preparation, temporary placement, and permanent bonding.

Mentone Smiles came highly recommended when emergency dental work was required. Dr John's professionalism, knowledge and genuine care has helped me overcome the anxiety levels I had from past dental experiences elsewhere. I'm totally at ease and trust his skills during the dental procedures that are concisely explained. A great team in a professional and calming environment!
